Nano build

[Izek]

Well after seeing all these awesome looking nano's I've have a few things things laying around beside the tank itself so I wanted to try and build one myself. So went to my friends glass shop got some crap glass and cut them myself not bad for my first time.

I already had a reef octopus skimmer
Sump
Pump
And found a SCWD laying around should I use it any input on them

So the tank will measure 18x12x18 around 16g I think

So had some time yesterday to kinda work on the tank did the plumbing and aquascape just need to paint and and should be ready

Cool scape! Plan on throwing some foam under the tank?

 

[Izek]

Yes i want to cover the holes and paint it first and maybe put some type of wood molding around the tank but i kinda want to have the clean look so idk yet

Is there a reason why you're not using an overflow?
